Anyone on the hunt for a real Christmas tree this year can breathe easy — we’ve scoured the internet, asked around, and rounded up all the confirmed spots from Puhoi to Mangawhai that are selling fresh, genuine trees.

Here’s where you can pick up the real deal:

Mangawhai – St John Ambulance

191 Molesworth Drive (next to MAZ)

Selling from 3–6pm

A handy central spot for Mangawhai families looking for a fresh pine with the added bonus of supporting St John.

Wellsford – Hammer Hardware

29 Station Road

Trees from $55

All funds go directly to St John Ambulance

A solid option right in the middle of town, and a chance to support an essential service.

Warkworth Volunteer Fire Brigade

2 Church Hill, Warkworth

Prices start at $45

Open daily 12–6pm

Weekends 9am–6pm

The brigade’s annual sale is a local favourite, and trees usually move quickly once the season hits full swing.

Silverdale – St John Ambulance

This is the full list we’re aware of at the moment, but new sellers often pop up as December rolls on.
